Record locking - Integrating Access with Sharepoint List. Random records locked in linked SharePoint list. Using Access 2010 and SharePoint 2010 We have been using linked SharePoint list in an Access 2010 application for a few months now. We have been able to work through several issues and have been successful with the implementation of using Access to update records in the SharePoint list using VBA to iterate through recodsets. We have occasionally had a situation where one record in the SharePoint list would not let us update any fields using the same VBA code. Because this seemed to only affect one single record, when we had identified the record, we simply added code to exclude that one record.
What is even more strange, is that the same records that we cannot write to from Access (directly in the lined table or through VBA) can be modified from the datasheet view in the SharePoint site. I though I would see if any of you have experienced anything like this. Any thoughts or assistance will be appreciated. Privacy supplement for Microsoft Access 2010.

Access 2010 And SharePoint – Welcome To The Hybrid Access Application « Dick Moffat's Excel and Access Blog. Now that we can talk about all the features in Access 2010 I think I have to place my marker immediately on what I believe is the BIG story in this release.
For the past 3 or so years I have kept hearing internally at MS about the Web story in what became Access 2010. The idea seemed to be that in order to sustain a future for Access it was necessary to “tie its can” to SharePoint’s bumper and offer itself as a somewhat functional database tool for lists and relatively small data requirements inside SharePoint. I always had trouble with that idea because I was concerned that by doing so they would marginalize the very community that Access needs to survive, namely the worldwide non-network of people using client-side Access (often secretly) to produce Departmental Solutions.
But nonetheless I jumped on the bandwagon a couple of years ago. But in the background of all of this was with the expectation that Access 2010 would provide a far better story. Well it’s true !! Dick Like this: Password Protect Access 2010 Database (Encrypt / Decrypt) Encryption is the cryptographic phenomena which enables you to cipher the content through a special key, eventually preventing any external source to pry in to it. Access 2010 also provides it’s users to encrypt the database with a key, i.e, password. Security of the database must be the first thing you need to ensure about. By following a simple procedure, you can make your database more resilient which mitigates the probable risk of prying from any authenticated source. For protecting database we need to open it exclusively. Now select the database file on which you want to add protection and from Open options click Open Exclusive, as shown in the screenshot below.
Now navigate to File tab and in backstage view click Encrypt With Password. Now set a password to encrypt database and click OK. On opening database you will be asked to enter the passphrase for verification purpose. If user is authenticated, then he will be able to use database. Advertisement.

I developed a smallish database for my own use and it was decided that several other people (about 8 in total) in my workplace would benefit from accessing it.

I am unsure where to start - my first attempt led to me corrupting the file - thankfully the IT people were able to restore to before I had the problems.

Can you split and upsize to 365? Yes you can and yes I have.
